Pros

Love the building, people, opportunities - really a wonderful company that takes care of its employees and makes you feel part of the team.

Cons

I have not come across any yet. They are very flexible and understanding when personal issues come up. and when we have snow days - they send you a note to stay home, but connect from there. Really great work life balance, ad no stress

Business Outlook

Pros

Company encouraging diversity (in age, race, culture and background) Encourage and provide tools for successful networking and skill-set building Value their employees and highly recommend moving internally (vertically or horizontally) within the organization Proactive in getting new employees oriented and jump-started in the workplace Benefits packages

Cons

Security is given highest priory, so if you're not careful, slip-ups can result in reprimands and if repeated possible dismissal. Help desks can sometimes be difficult to understand and work with. Which isn't great as you try and get yourself situated early on.
